On the one hand, it's now contractual about getting rid of 100's of 50 seat RJ's for some some more 70+ seaters. On the other hand, the 50 seaters were going away anyway. Okay, you convinced me, they were/are going away anyway. Now why would I want to spend negotiating capital to make it contractual? Isn't that what we did in C2012 and many guys were upset about the deal?

I'm confused.

As a junior guy I agree with Denny and T on this. Why spend negotiating capital on something that will take care of itself? I've heard anecdotes of numerous regional carriers that can fill only 10% of their new hire classes. They will implode on their own because the business model is no longer sustainable.
